I'm 24 so if you're 18+ maybe we can be mutuals! Short stories, writing prompts, tips, who knows lol Trying to be a published author one day, following the dream I've had since I was little ❤️

[swirly-potato]

Dear Tumblr,

Today I finished my novel. I don't mean that I got the first draft done. I mean that I, recently sixteen, finished the novel that I've been working on for as long as I can remember. I did it.

I am very happy and I just wanted to share it with all the weird little freaks that inspired me to put my blorbos down on paper. I don't care if nobody sees this. I did it. I am a writer. I finished my book.

Love,

Avi

*Help my family*

Hello,

my name is Ahmed and I collect donations for my family.

We lost our home in Gaza City and were displaced in Rafah without the basic needs proper to life such as shelter, food and water. We are desperately looking for any kind of financing to rebuild our demolished house. Even if I cou...

Fuck yeah it does lmao

Idk who else needs to hear this but--

Your WIP isn't gonna write itself.

You should do some writing in it, no one else can create what you can. No two pieces of writing are the same, even with concepts and tropes being the same. It's in your individuality that makes your world unique. And no one else can do it but you.

So write

[platypuseggs69]

Some writing advice I will hold on to until the day I die:

You don't need a dialogue tag for every exchange between characters, especially if it's clear who is speaking.

That's why character voice is so important to nail

[platypuseggs69]

Some writing advice that likely won't resonate with the whole, but certainly will for a few:

It's okay to do minor edits as you go.

Some of us are control freaks who can't move on until it's fixed.

[dairogo]

Part of a good writing session for me - sessions just that FLOW - usually starts with rereading and editing what I wrote the previous session. I don't have to make it perfect, but it helps me get into the voice. If I don't do that I'm more likely to sit and struggle. Sometimes when I do that, I do really end up just working on the same bit, but it's because I can see something that didn't hit right and I'm actively fixing it. It's not just dithering.

It's taken years for that to be an appropriate practice for me, and maybe it will stop helping me again one day. Then I'll pick a new practice and switch to that.

[platypuseggs69]

Yes!! This! Exactly my process too, and I love it!

Writing Prompt:

There's a door at the end of the shadowed, decrepit corridor. Claws scrape and tap, echo everywhere and nowhere. The only wait out is the door ahead. Does it go up? Does it go down? Will it continue forward? Is it the exit? Or an entrance to a new living hell?

I keep seeing people making fun of using growled, hissed, roared, snarled etc in writing and it’s like.

have you never heard someone speak with the gravel in their voice when they get angry? Because that’s what a growl is.

Have you never heard someone sharply whisper something through the thin space of their teeth? Or when your mother sharply told you to stop it in public as a kid when you were acting up/being too loud? Because that’s what a hiss is.

Have you never heard a man get so blackout angry that their voice BOOMS through the house? Because that’s what a roar is.

Have you never seen someone bare their teeth while talking to accentuate their frustration or anger while speaking with a vicious tone? Because that’s what snarling is.

It’s not meant to be a literal animal noise. For the love of god, not every description is literal. I get some people are genuinely confused, but also some of these people are genuinely unimaginative as fuck.

[platypuseggs69]

This

All of this!

I can't even begin to go over how many people don't understand this!

We don't have to be animals to make these sounds, it's in our natural everyday speaking patterns.

[platypuseggs69]

Listen here writers who also hate everything they do:

You are a writer even if you don't post your writing

You're a writer even if you don't write like everyone else

You are a writer even if you haven't written anything in a while

You are a writer if all you do is roleplays from your favorite media with your friends.

You are a writer if all you write is fanfiction (shit sometimes it's even better than published work, good gods)

You are a writer even if you choose not to show anyone your writing

You are a writer even if you're bad at writing

You are a writer if you only ever write as a hobby and when you have inspiration

You are a writer even if you don't write like the famous authors of time

We have amazing stories, worlds no one can even dream of, people not a single soul can meet, all in this electrified hunk of meat in our skulls.

If you have a story, and the urge to rip it from your very soul and form words for others to read, you're a writer.

no im not ok because it’s always “would you still love me if i was a worm?” “yes, i’d still love you if you were a worm”

and it’s never “would you have come for me then, kaz?” “i would come for you. and if i couldn’t walk i would crawl to you. and no matter how broken we were we’d fight our way out together, knives drawn and guns blazing.”

Uuuggghhhh this line!!! 😩😩😩

Introducing the Palestine Glass Tumbler, the perfect way to show your support for Palestine while enjoying your favorite beverages in style.

I owe it to my family to help them get their urgent medication and to find a safe place away from the concentration camp that is Gaza.

Every contribution you donate, no matter how small, means a lot to us!

My family survival is nothing short of a miracle. I implore your assistance in extracting them from this living hell.

Even if a donation is beyond your means, a simple share of this post could be a lifeline.

So hope you’ll be able to support me in this campaign by sharing with your family and friends.
